Let's move along then. Seriously. Don't even think about an AMV like that.

Stick with it for now. It's still got some issues but its getting better. Granted, that wouldn't be hard, but I'll take what I can get.

Honestly no one would blame you. The show is so stale and boring, it's making me lose interest in Sentai. I've tried watching the newer episodes, but so little is happening, nothing can be taken seriously. I'd give up if it's not interesting.

I can't tell why people are saying this, so maybe you can help me understand. Because my perspective is radically different.

If you look at Ninninger with an eye toward form, and within the context of Super Sentai as a whole, it's doing a lot of very interesting things. Structurally, it's breaking the mold in a way that I haven't seen since Jetman -- namely, with the show's focus on parallel action and intra-team conflict. The show subverts a lot of the conventions of Super Sentai, while still retaining the distinct tone of the franchise.

If the criticism was that Ninninger is cloying and over-the-top, I could understand. It is. But I'd never describe it as boring.

I agree with lucha but for different reasons. While many people do not happen to like the whole series for how outrageous and crazy it is, I personally think of it as new and innovative. I say that because it uses a motif of ninja's but it does not stick to a regular ninja motif such as shurikenjin which only has one component that fits in with the ninja motif; shinobimaru. While the rest are different things that have nothing to do with ninja's.

Another reason is that I like how nininger doesn't try to be serious like most sentai and it stays silly and fun even in serious situations. Such as when akaninger and gabiraizou fought, Gabi treated the fight as if it was a sort of contest rather than a fight shown when he continued to praise akaninger for making him have to use his full power. Now yes some villains have a love for fighting, which Gabi had, but they usually will only do it to better themselves and do not care about rivals that much

If a show can leave me having not anything to talk about, nothing interesting from the team, and can make me fall asleep, I call that boring. There is really to me nothing beyond that. If they could have made the characters fun, it'd be watchable, but their not. They're either annoying, or put into the background. Just such a lifeless show, the last ninja stuff could have been played out better, and the whole Starninger thing is a joke.
